Reading about the number of teachers, male and female, who have sexually molested students, the bigger threat on campus are the teachers. The Sheriff is the Constitutionally Elected Law Enforcement officer in Idaho and stands at the people’s pleasure, not some political appointee lackey like the Police Chief. It doesn’t surprise me that the Police Chiefs are against this…most of them previously come from jurisdictions where police control of the private citizen is the accepted and preferred practice. The Presidents of the Colleges all are died in the wool liberal anti-free speech and anti-gun nanny-staters. Just look at what the President of the College of Idaho found as the most important thing toi highlight in his going away press release: ……bring in lots of foreign students and increase the diversity of the campus…he didn’t mention that it raised the cost for the paying student as they were all on grants or “scholarships”. He didn’t mention that he is cutting the number of classes and instructors so he could finance a football team. He didn’t speak of trying to get Veterans to the Campus…even though many, including Veterans Services tried to get a program going, …because he didn’t endorse it and wasn’t “interested”. He doesn’t speak of raising academic standards…because he didn’t.

These people seem to be more interested in social engineering, political correctness and control of others than they are about personal freedoms and academic learning.

I don’t believe the police are being demonized. It appears that the dam has finally broken and it is time for some answers. A series of very telling events have taken place or been exposed and people are now asking questions. If anyone thinks that the very few people that post on this site are the only ones concerned…WRONG. I have been asked about the YOUTUBE incident from people living on the east coast wondering just what is going on in this little town. The FBI investigation may have failed to return any indictments but I have a very strong suspicion it was not because whoever was being investigated was innocent. Boise is still a connected town in the worst sense of the word. But until a paid civil service employee tasked with investigating the civil servants in this city decides to give the public some details after collecting his 80k check or the CHIEF decides to tell the people who pay his salary just exactly what the FEDS were doing snooping around in “his” department without his knowledge, I guess we will never know.
The CCW issue is meaningless. He is posturing and in reality his opinion means absolutely nothing. One hundred bucks says he is out as Chief shortly and running for political office somewhere.

EDITOR NOTE–You guys are not on topic anymore and continue to bash the chief and his coppers–which is fine if they deserve it, but not when the issue is being denied a forum at the legislature. We have offered the forum here to one and all, but it’s time to move on. You personally have accounted for way too many posts on this thread under various names.

The governments appear to be preparing for mass civil unrest. “Fear a government which fears is people” a very smart man once said: (link is to a news outlet)

Citizens may need to reconsider the legal immunities that have been bestowed on police, prosecutors, and the judiciary. In short, these immunities have resulted in too many abuses, for which there is very limited recourse.

Many on here have demonized the police: I do think there are many a good cop. I think Boise is better than most. However, it is clear that not enough is done to root out the bad. It’s kinda like the Catholic Priest problem. Ya can’t tell me they don’t know who these guys are. Second point: Before all you coppers get offended by the comments on here, please tell me of any event in the known history of mankind when a massacre of large numbers of citizens was NOT carried out by police under the direction of someone they were loyal to. Police in the USA are moving away from accountability to the average citizen and that is what people are concerned about. History shows what it will lead to.

Important to note that the Chief’s agenda is closely aligned with a national police agenda to have special rules for special people:

Masterson states that “Idaho laws are weak on grounds to deny a CCW permit”.

Does this mean that he advocates some convolution of Idaho’s straightforward and unequivocal laws concerning concealed carry???

Does Masterson merely wish to expand the coppers’ monopoly on weapons and law enforcement that already exists?
